Zerbo, a Reddit user shared the story of the haunted ambulance rig 12, which he himself thought was a simple trick, until he experienced it himself.
"My colleague and I were in a suburban neighborhood at 3 in the morning. It was as dark as a corner, and deathly silence surrounded us. We were both napping, I was in the driver's seat, my colleague was in the passenger seat. I was woken up by a muffled voice, I thought it was my colleague talking. I told her I was trying to sleep and closed my eyes. I clearly heard a man's voice: "Oh my God, am I dying?" and this was followed by a few seconds of heavy breathing. My colleague and I were awake in a second, we looked back at the ambulance, where the voice was supposed to come from. After a moment of silence, there was a hissing sound from the oxygen system, as if it was deflating. We immediately jumped to look, because we were afraid that someone had climbed into the ambulance. But there was no one there, and the oxygen system was closed."

Dear David

What started as a nightmare about a scary boy missing part of his head turned into paranormal activity: repeated phone calls, objects moving and disappearing, strange and inexplicable movement of his motion detector in the middle of the night, and the list goes on . You can watch the story at your own risk here.

The devil's pursuer

"It was a black shadow with red eyes."

This unusual narrative was posted on the Reddit network. The user laplante_12 namely, he experienced something very worrying last year while walking home from his girlfriend.
"I was walking home around 8 o'clock in the evening. I had just arrived at my neighborhood and had the feeling that something was following me. It was very close to me and didn't seem human. Then I saw someone coming towards me on a motorcycle and passed out. No one was near me, when I looked back there was no one. All I could hear was the rustle of a tall tree. A man riding a motorcycle told me he saw something behind me, and it was nothing human. It is supposed to be a black shadow with red eyes.”

Weird employee

There is a user on the Darkness Prevails Reddit thread thrust tube, a security guard at the company's manufacturing facility, shared a terrifying story about a nocturnal 'visitor'.
“Before I scan my badge, I have to check all the premises. I then have five seconds to leave them before the alarm goes off. I close the door and wait for the alarm to activate again. By then I had taken 10 steps when I heard the door open and the alarm didn't go off at all. I turn around and see an old woman, too old to work in the plant, who wasn't properly dressed to work here. She is not one of the employees. She looks at me and says so happily: "I'm ready to go home." I mumbled in astonishment and disbelief. "Yeah, me too." The old lady slowly waved at me, went to the shoe cabinet, opened the door and closed herself inside.

Red nail polish


YouTuber MadLibbs woke up in the middle of the night to find a hand with red nails on her pillow. She started stroking her hair and eventually said goodbye to her. In her sleepiness she thought it was her mother. But the next day she realized that her mother was not wearing red nail polish and she was nowhere near the bed that night.

Reddit user AnnaRegina1533 It wasn't her first time in a haunted house. When she grew up, she lived in a house where objects moved, where she saw shadows and heard children's voices, among other things. The story continues even in her adult life. And she feels that no one can help her.
“Things started disappearing and reappearing. I constantly feel like someone is watching me, I have no energy, and all of a sudden I get nausea and headaches (which I have never had before). Of course, the doctors examined me, but to no avail. I constantly have a significant sense of dread and no matter what I do I can't sleep at night. When I fall asleep, I have the most terrifying nightmares. There is no reason for them, nor are they repeated. They have only terror and death in common."

Believe it or not, chances are you know someone who has already had a rather strange and inexplicable experience. And who knows, maybe one day it's waiting for you too.
